Cesky Krumlov Day Trip from Brno via Telc

First stop: Telč

Telč's historic centre is known for the long row of colourful Renaissance and Baroque houses with arcades on Zachariáš of Hradec Square. Telč Château stands right beside it. Allow around 60–75 minutes for a walk, photos and coffee. A lengthy interior tour would leave less time for Český Krumlov, the main destination of the day.

The main destination: Český Krumlov

The historic centre of Český Krumlov is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Rising above a bend in the Vltava is its castle complex, with five courtyards, the Cloak Bridge and castle gardens. Walk through Latrán, cross into the old town and pause at Svornosti Square. For a view over the rooftops, consider climbing the castle tower. Interior tours and garden access vary by season; check current opening details before travelling.

Leave time for winding lanes, lunch and river views

Český Krumlov is best explored on foot. Between historic houses are small shops, restaurants and cafés, while the Vltava curves around the centre. If photography interests you, visit Museum Fotoateliér Seidel, the preserved photographic studio associated with Josef and František Seidel. We suggest around 4–5 hours in town so you can enjoy it without rushing between sights.
